Hello!
Your syntax is advanced! I wish my students could correctly punctuate subordination when they entered my class--and they're native American speakers of (American) English. You're doing very well. I was most impressed with:
And if some of you have any suggestions on its correction or alteration, I hope you could post them and I could learn from it.
I'd call that sentence particularly advanced for a non-native speaker of English. Very impressive, in fact. The only noticeable bumps in the road were the use of the preposition 'on' which seemed a bit off to my ear--but that's just my ear, calli'--and a pronoun agreement problem (i.e., 'post them...learn from it'/better: 'post them...learn from them', even though I realize you mean here that 'it' is the process of learning. Pronouns provide numerous opportunities for debates and nitpicking.)How long have you studied English? You are truly cruising along at a terrific clip.
Enjoy yourself here and tell us about your intriguing name, callithump.
Best regards,
Wordwind
